I just got an older Seal Jumbo 150 dry mount press in 16' x 20' size. When plugged in and turned on, the red light blinks, temperature seems to come up, but I don't get a green light and the temp setting rheostat doesn't seem to function to affect the heat cycle. Tf2 Key Generator Free Download on this page. It seems to be in good shape, clean, good platen and pad.

There are no obvious signs of neglect or abuse and it is definately sturdy. Does anyone have some experience with this press? I would like to correspond with someone who has used this type of press and could answer a few questions for me. If there is a problem, I can probably trouble shoot and fix the thing, but I would like to know what 'normal function' is and how it should behave before I start to tinker with it.

It could be in the indicator circuit, like a burned out pilot lamp - naw it couldn't be that simple. I think some of these units can be wired for 220 or 110 volts.

One wired for 220 but connected to 110 circuit might give the operation you are perceiving. How hot dos it get? I think it could be repaired at home if you have a volt-ohm meter (Ohm?) and some patience.

I wish I could be there. Truly, dr bob. I know so little about electricity lol. I know we have 20A fuses in our circuit box.

I also noticed (after the lights came back on ) that the on/off switch won't stay in the on position (or off position- I'm not sure, it isn't marked). I'll have a look inside the box where the chord connects to the unit. Maybe it IS just a short. Now that I think about it, what had happened was I plugged it in, noticed the red and green lights, checked to make sure it started to heat up, and then turned it off at the switch (I MIGHT have unplugged it instead of actually turning it off *sigh*). THAT'S when the lights went out, the power switch stays in one position, and there was a spark at the outlet. From then on whenever I plugged it in, the lights went out. That does kind of sound like a short.

I hope I didn't damage the unit. I guess I should also buy an operators manual.

It came without one. Any more advise?? Thanks for the response. In United States, the electrical code requires 12 gauge wires be used for wiring supporting 20 amps total. 14 gauge for 15 amp circuits.

It's actually not as simple as this but this is the basic. Under sized wiring causes voltage drop, heat build-up, etc. In some older homes, there were instances home owners needed more amperage delivered to their sockets. In some cases, home owner(s) just replaced the fuse and left the wiring alone and these were thin wires.

That could be an issue. It's a little more difficult to do with circuit breakers, and if an electrician is involved, they will not do that. I still haven't dared to plug it in our home, but after inspecting the prongs I noticed that one of the two flat prongs is splitting right at the tip where it folds back on itself.

It's still connected, but a definite split is happening. This sure seems to be a strong suspect. That should be an easy enough fix for an electrition to perform. What had actually happened was at the hotel I plugged it in, flipped the switch and saw the lights come on, tested if the plate heated, and then turned it off, but I think there is an 85% chance I unplugged it before actually switching it off (I'll consider my head slapped by all of you lol). That is when the lights went out and the switch stuck in the off position. From then on whenever I plugged it in, the lights went out.

You did this at a hotel room? I bet you made friends out of other residents and managers.

Tell you what. Take it home and carefully inspect the cord itself and replace the plug. It's not a big deal. There are only 3 wires involved.

You don't need an electrician for that. All you need is someone who has done it once or twice.

It's a heavy current device. As I said earlier, if the capacity of the circuit (ie. Outlet) is marginal, unplugging or plugging it in can cause the circuit breaker to trip when there is nothing wrong with the device itself. Download Lagu Metallica Nothing Else Matters Live. Unplugging itself without turning it off isn't a problem.
